Stansted also has better transport links...
And also from Luton, a through-train half-hourly 24/7 service (reduced frequencies midnight to 5am) via Central and South London to the South Coast plus Midland Mainline hourly to the East Midlands
(this train passes Leicester about the same time that Central Trains' crawler service from Stansted to Birmingham is trundling through Peterborough...).
Stansted also has better transport links? To Essex, Northeast & East London maybe. Otherwise, don't make me laugh
